Ron struggles to maintain respect of his fellow Aurors, Hermione doesn't make it easy for him. Written for Kinky Kristmas Exchange on Daily Deviant. Kinks were: dom!Ron, spanking, and spunk; prompt was 'green.'

Summary: All Hermione wants to do is get closer to Ron. This summer she gets her wish, but the closer they get, the harder it will become for her to share her secret with him. But share it she must. If love really is stronger than hate, as Hermione believes, their feelings for each other may actually be enough to save them all.
